EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE NEW WORKERS DEMAND TECHNICAL- AND SOFT-SKILLS; WORKONE CAN ADVISE WHERE YOUR SKILLS STAND !   

     No map exists for the road to recovery from the 2008 through 2010 recession because the global economy — and hence Northern Indiana's landscape — is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. With Northern Indiana's jobless rate crawling up to 9.9 percent in October 2011 from 9.8 percent during the prior month, out-of-work individuals trying to adapt to monumental changes should be mindful of a simple adage: learn new skills.

     WorkOne staff members talk with regional employers regularly about what skills they need in newly hired individuals, and WorkOne uses this information to operate a skills training program available to Hoosiers.
